VW has such a better overall economic model than any US car manufacturer. Workers are unionized at VW and have some representation on the board, so it's a shared power situation between employees and shareholders. Granted this hasn't kept VW from making really stupid decisions (see VW diesel emissions scandal), but at least they've shifted to prioritizing EV production (also made in the USA):

I think this puts VW in the slot of primary competitor for Tesla's market, should be interesting to see what happens.
